Questions & Answers about Laŭ la kondiĉoj de la garantio, paku la produkton.
Why does paku end in -u?
In Esperanto, -u is the verb ending for a command, request, instruction, or wish. So paku means pack!
Compare:
- pakas = packs / is packing
- pakis = packed
- pakos = will pack
- paki = to pack
- paku = pack!
In this sentence, the speaker is giving an instruction, so paku is the correct form.
Why is produkton marked with -n?
The ending -n marks the direct object in Esperanto. The direct object is the thing directly affected by the action.
Here:
- paku = pack
- la produkton = the product
So la produkton is what is being packed, which is why it takes -n.
If you removed the -n, the sentence would be ungrammatical in standard Esperanto.
What does laŭ do in this sentence?
Laŭ is a preposition meaning according to, in accordance with, or sometimes along depending on context.
